New Report: Fast-Tracking Girls' Education

The Education for All Fast-Track Initiative (EFA FTI), the first ever global compact on education, has just released a report highlighting the critical importance of girls' education. The report details some of the positive impacts of the EFA FTI program, as well as challenges to come. FTI countries have seen rapid increases in the number of girls attending school, and the FTI model has reduced the number of girls that need to repeat a grade. However, there are still 67 million children not in school - and over half of them are girls. Sustained donor and domestic support for girls' education is critical to ensuring development goals are achieved.
